about
Profile
I am a mother of three wonderful children working in the town I grew up in for our family restaurant and as a land steward of our town’s trails and open fields. I manage invasive plants and watch for signs of wildlife or a public misuse of the lands as well as keep the trails clear for the public to enjoy.
Favorite SFS Memory: I sit here 20 years after my time at the Amboseli Bush Camp and realize that barely a day has passed that I haven’t thought of my experiences there. How could I pick just one memory from the few months that truly helped shape me into the adult I am? The experience touched me in ways I can’t even define. SFS Kenya, Spring 2004, is a part of me, even 20 years later.
